Our Tahitian Lime is producing an abundance of fruit. So far I have counted about 80. What do you do with 80 limes? Buy a lot of Tequila!( : In a couple weeks I plan to do a few things with them, besides squeezing some in delicious bowls of guacamole I hope to make a Tahitian Lime Pie, maybe a few, and give them to some of the neighbors who have helped greatly with our transition to Hawaiian living. Also I’d like to try out a couple new recipes like Tom Ka Gai (Coconut Lime Chicken Soup) and Cinnamon and Lime Chicken Fajitas. Wish me luck and if anyone has favorite dishes they use limes in please do not hesitate to share. Random thought; I’ve heard that topping a Corona with a lime wedge began as a sanitary practice in Mexico and had nothing to do with taste, who knows, either way I think the two pair well, almost as good as Don Julio and limes, a favorite of my dads. I was thrilled to see our first tree producing so much, it is cool to watch nature create new life and it is fun to feed the tree and know that it is working hard to feed us in return, even if it is just limes, you have to start somewhere. As a bonus the tree smells amazing when it is fruiting. One of the best things about living in Hawaii is seeing things grow so rapidly due to a lot of rain and sunshine. We have already had a few volunteer plants. The pictures below are a tomato plant that sprouted up under our water jug, just from rinsing our cutting boards. Pretty neat, huh? It is a reminder that life is great and occurring all around me, even in unexpected places. Time moves so quickly and it is easy to forget the small stuff. I will attempt to transplant this little guy and deliver an update soon. That is all I have for now. Hope you enjoy. Love to you all.
